“I have a son at Maplewood who is six years old and this is his first summer. We absolutely love and it is one of the best run camps that I have ever seen. This is the best swim program you will find. My son did not even put his foot in the water and is now floating swimming, treading water. In 10 days he was on his back floating. We could not have asked for more. He is so happy. “ … The Carter Family
Swimming Lessons: At Maplewood, we place great emphasis on our comprehensive swimming program,which is the pride of our camp. We recognize that each child’s improvement in swimming depends upon feelings of comfort and security in the water. Under the guidance of knowledgeable Water Safety Instructors and Lifeguards, campers receive individualized instruction in the American Red Cross swimming progressions. Our well trained staff provides caring patient, support. The camp directors, Lee and Sue, have each taught swimming for over 20 years.
Maplewood’s two heated Olympic-size pools, specifically designed for swimmers of all levels, feature diving boards as well as an exciting double-tube slide and frog slide.
Boating: Our 5-acre pond is the perfect setting for boating!
Campers can go out in:

“Thank you so much for all of your hard work this summer. We were so impressed with the time you took with our concerns with our son in the pool, and the amount of communication you provided throughout his 6 weeks at Maplewood. He had an awesome summer –swimming is now his favorite thing, he sings songs at home, and made some new friends. We look forward to him having many more years of fun at Maplewood!” … Jen & Kevin Brown
